Sounds about right. I guess it depends on what you need to measure and to what accuracy. There are less expensive options out there. I went looking for some appropriate images to use on my hard drive and couldn't find exactly what I needed so I used an image of a MAG-Lite we have used in the past for one of our product demo's. We designed a camera lens, nothing to do with MAG-Lite. The software is called MaxImDL and is typically used for astronomy. Any camera with a known pixel size works (or if the accuracy can be modest, a reference image can be used to "calibrate" the system). The 3D image I have shown is a function I do not use often but is handy for distinguishing features of depth. The way I typically use the software as a measurment tool is on flat features where a hard edge can be established. The software is around or under $600.
